Punishment
Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 5:40 pm
Attention UFP Officers, Allies, and Enemies of the State:
One of the hardest things to do as a Fleet Admiral is to punish officers that have done incredible things for the Fleet they serve. By serve, I mean an officer who has gone above and beyond to dedicate a distinctly higher level of time to improving our fleet than the average officer. Everyone makes mistakes and have momentary lack in judgment. Unfortunately, some mistakes are more visible than others.
Fleet Captain Silverado, per an investigation, it has been revealed that you used a Star Trek Bridge Commander Excaliber-class vessel, termed a "Godship". This action is a Category II offense for insubordination. Per the Code of Conduct, you are to "follow the defined rules of engagement and the orders of their superiors." You were ordered to war on January 15, 2011 and to follow the orders of Admiral IcemanHG and Admiral Costello as War Admirals. On January 16th, Admiral Costello amended my orders with battle orders of which item 3 states "Never use a godship i.e. Excalibur, Hybrid, Borg Sphere." Further, on January 16th Admiral IcemanHG amended my orders with the same warning. He said "It is against UFP war policy to use any sort of god ship during wartime." He included a list of Godships which included the Excalibur.
Your are hereby admonished. You will not use Godships without prior authorization and change in war policy from the Fleet Admiral, Council of Admirals, or the Starfleet CO (not [SF] CO). Further, you are hereby suspended 1 month time toward your next promotion. You are now promotion eligible March 1, 2011.
I regret the public method that was necessary in this situation. It must be made clear that UFP does not tolerate this behavior. I am a believer in the whole person concept. The fact that you quickly self destructed upon realizing your mistake speaks great credit to your honesty and integrity. Your prior achievements and contributions to this fleet have reflected greatly upon my decision and it is very difficult for me to issue these orders. I expect that this behavior will not happen again and you will continue to be a valuable officer to this fleet.
DISMISSED
